CHAPTER 1
Overview
This chapter provides a brief description of VeriFone’s VX 820.
VX 820
The VX 820 takes the most usable and ergonomic hand-held PIN pad payment
device and takes it to a new level by adding a color touchscreen display, a larger
keypad, and integrated contactless capability. It is designed to fit in a variety of
payment environments to suit nearly any need. With VeriFone’s patent-pending
MAXui design, enhanced with a robust 3.5” color QVGA display, and larger blue
backlit keys, the device is easy to use under any lighting conditions. A tapered
design and ergonomically balanced midpoint help the VX 820 fit comfortably in
even the smallest hands, and the rugged design holds up to the most demanding
conditions.
The VX 820 is a programmable device, allowing a custom or EMV-approved
transaction application to run from the PCI PED 3.0-compliant PIN pad, either to
meet local regulatory requirements or relieve the ECR or terminal of this task.
Features at a
Glance
The VX 820 has a sleek and stylish ergonomic design that offers power and
performance in a smart card- and MSR-integrated PIN pad device. The VX 820
provides the right combination of features and functions in a sleek, stylish device
that fits in the palm of your hand. This includes a magnetic stripe card reader,
smart card reader, an integrated PIN pad, and optional integrated contactless.

conditioners, electric motors, neon signs, high-frequency or magnetic security
devices, or computer equipment).
Do not use the VX 820 near water or in moist conditions.
Unpack
Shipping Carton
Open the shipping carton and carefully inspect its contents for possible tampering
or shipping damage. The VX 820 is a secure product and any tampering can
cause it to cease to function or to operate in an unsecured manner.
1Remove and inspect the contents of the shipping carton, since the VX 820
ships in multiple configurations, the carton may include any or all of the
following:
VX 820
Data cable
Power pack
Power cord
ECR cable

You may need to install one or more multiple security access module (MSAM)
cards or replace the old cards.
To change or install
MSAMs
1Remove the data cable from the back of the unit.
2Place the VX 820 facedown on a soft, clean surface to protect the lens from
scratches.
3Loosen the retaining screw. The restraining screw is captive, which means
that it cannot be fully removed from the slot.

4Slide out the compartment door. The MSAM cardholders are now accessible.
Each cardholder consists of a slot inboard of a numbered tray.

CAUTION
Observe standard precautions in handling electrostatically sensitive devices.
Electrostatic discharges can damage the equipment. VeriFone recommends
using a grounded anti-static wrist strap.
NOTE
Before inserting the MSAM card, position it as shown in Figure 5, with the card’s
gold contacts facing away from you, toward the unit. The cardholder slot in the
VX 820 has a set of contacts. The MSAM card has a notch on one corner to
ensure that it fits into the connector base in only one way; the VX 820 has a
matching notch cast into the backside of the MSAM compartment door to ensure
the MSAM card is positioned correctly when the cover is closed.

Cable
Connections
The VX 820 has six general cabling scenarios, depending on what the VX 820
connects to:
1Connection to another VeriFone Terminal
2RS232 Connection using an External Power Brick
3Direct USB Connection
4USB–Download Support using an External Power Brick
5PoweredUSB connection
6Ethernet Connection with External Power Brick
Connection to
another VeriFone
Terminal
The VX 820 connects to a VeriFone terminal via a straight cable. There is a
minimum power requirement for the VX 820, currently specified as 4.2W. In cases
where the terminal is only able to provide a 7 V DC output to power the VX 820,
the terminal must be able to source at least 0.57 A of current. Otherwise, proper
functioning of the VX 820 is not guaranteed.

CAUTION
Using an incorrectly rated power supply can damage the unit or cause it not to
work properly. Use only a power pack with VPN PWR282-001-01-A (see
Specifications for detailed power supply specifications).

RS232 Connection
using an External
Power Brick
A special dongle cable is used, where one end of the cable plugs into the VX 820
while the other end terminates in a DB-9 connector housing. On the housing, a
DC jack is provided to connect to an external power brick. This is a generic cable
for all RS232-based hosts.

Similarly, a dongle cable is required in standard USB environments. For this cable
option, the host end has a molded housing which exposes the standard USB plug.

This cable option comes with a junction box that provides a mini-style Type B
USB socket for connecting to the USB-based host and a DC jack for external
power connection.
In addition, a Type A USB socket is provided on the junction box to support
application download via a USB thumb drive.

Brick
The cable required junction box that provides a standard RJ-45 LAN socket and a
DC jack. However, since most hosts do not support peer-to-peer LAN connection
to a PIN pad, an additional RJ-45 socket is provided on the junction box to allow a
direct connection between VX 820 and the host.

Power Supply
Not all VX 820 configurations and device contexts require the use of a power
supply – VeriFone ships power supplies with the VX 820 as required.
If you have changed the context in which the VX 820 is used or have questions
about which power supply should be used, contact your VeriFone representative.
Before connecting a power supply, disconnect the power pack cord from the
power outlet.
Connect and route all cables between the VX 820, ECR, and PC before plugging
the power pack cord into a wall outlet or surge protector.
When the VX 820 has power and an application is loaded, the application starts
after the initial VeriFone copyright screen and displays a unique copyright screen.
If no application is loaded, DOWNLOAD NEEDED appears on the display after the
initial VeriFone copyright screen.
CAUTION
Using an incorrectly rated power supply can damage the unit or cause it not to
work properly. Use only a power pack with VPN PWR282-001-01-A (see
Specifications for detailed power supply specifications).
WARNING
Do not plug the power pack into an outdoor outlet or operate the VX 820
outdoors. Also, disconnecting power during a transaction can cause transaction
data files not yet stored in memory to be lost.
NOTE
To protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical
surges, VeriFone recommends installing a power surge protector.
